Download and read online ebook The Official 411 Degrassi Generations write by Kathryn Ellis. This book was released on 2005. The Official 411 Degrassi Generations available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. When the groundbreaking show, The Kids of Degrassi Street, debuted twenty-five years ago, it was definitely teen television with a difference. The characters were refreshingly, astonishingly real and fans immediately saw themselves in the series' true-to-life storylines. Legions of teens followed the students through Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi Highand transformed the collective series into Degrassi Classic. Degrassi wasnt afraid to tackle big issues such as Aids, suicide, teen pregnancy, and interracial relationships. But it also offered glamour-free depictions of the daily mortifications of teenage existence -- shopping for your first bra, being the shortest guy in grade seven, having nothing to wear for your school photo. In 2005, even though Spike's giant hairdo has long gone out of style, the Degrassi Classic series continues to resonate with viewers across North America and around the world, from Sweden to Australia. And the 2001 launch of Degrassi: The Next Generation has introduced thousands of new viewers--young and old alike--to the Halls of Degrassi. Now, for the first time ever, a lavishly illustrated book about Degrassi--written by a Degrassi insider--takes fans behind the scenes of one of televisions most successful on-going teen series. Degrassi Generations is the ultimate fan book and a remarkable history of all the kids of Degrassi Street.

This book was released on 2021-02-02. Downfall available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. *INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER Detectives dig into the dark side of Toronto when a serial killer targets homeless people camped out near one of the city’s most exclusive enclaves in this latest crime thriller from bestselling author Robert Rotenberg. Exactly what is one person’s death worth? For decades, the Humber River Golf Course has been one of the city’s most elite clubs. All is perfect in this playground for the rich, until homeless people move into the pristine ravine nearby, and tensions mount between rich and poor and reach a head when two of the squatters are brutally murdered. The killings send shockwaves through the city, and suspicion immediately falls upon the members of the club. Protests by homeless groups and their supporters erupt. Suddenly the homelessness problem has caught the attention of the press, politicians, and the public. Ari Greene, now the head of the homicide squad, leaves behind his plush new office and, with his former protégé Daniel Kennicott in tow, returns to the streets to investigate. Meanwhile, Greene’s daughter, Alison, a dynamic young TV journalist, reports on the untold story of extreme poverty in Toronto. With all the attention focused on the murders, pressure is on Greene to find the killer—now. He calls on his old contacts and his well-honed instincts to pursue the killer and save the city and the people he loves. But then a third body is found. A riveting page-turner ringing with authenticity, Downfall is a scathing look at the growing disparity between rich and poor in Canada’s wealthiest city.

This book was released on 2021-06-01. Pure Flame available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. A searing work of cultural memoir, Michelle Orange’s Pure Flame explores the meaning of maternal legacy―in her own family and across a century of seismic change. In a series of texts with her mother, Michelle Orange learned about the existence of Janis Jerome, who, it turns out, is one of her mother’s many alter egos: the name used in a case study, eventually sold to the Harvard Business Review, about her mother’s midlife choice to leave her husband and children to pursue career opportunities in a bigger city. A flashpoint in the lives of both mother and daughter, the decision forms the heart of a broader exploration of the impact of feminism on what Adrienne Rich called “the great unwritten story”: that of the mother-daughter bond. The death of Orange’s maternal grandmother at nearly ninety-six and the fear that her mother’s more “successful” life will not be as long bring new urgency to her questions about the woman whose absence and anger helped shape her life. Through a blend of memoir, social history, and cultural criticism, Pure Flame pursues a chain of personal, intellectual, and collective inheritance, tracing the forces that helped transform the world and what a woman might expect from it. Told with warmth and rigor, Orange’s account of her mother’s life and their relationship is pressurized in critical and unexpected ways, resulting in an essential, revelatory meditation on becoming, selfhood, freedom, mortality, storytelling, and what it means to be a mother’s daughter now.
